BE ACTIVE

Do you want more happiness and satisfaction? Start with your body! When your body is not healthy, it’s really hard to feel the good feelings of being alive.

Your body is the only place you have to live in.

Just like you wouldn’t want to live in a dirty, deteriorated home – neither can you thrive in your physical body when it’s not at it’s best. It’s so easy to forget that our body IS our home… our ONLY home!

Your body is designed to be in motion.

One of your best ways to maintain good physical health is to BE ACTIVE. When you are active, you allow your body do what it does best -- so you can feel your best.

You need physical activity and exercise.

Here is your recipe for being physically fit: both physical activity AND exercise. They’re not the same thing. You need both!

Physical Activity – is the movement that happens during everyday life.

Taking the stairs

Cleaning your home

Standing

Walking while shopping

Walking from your car to a building

Exercise – is intentional movement designed to put your body under a “good” type of stress to change or maintain your physical fitness level.

Running

Group exercise class

Crossfit

Lifting weights

Kickboxing

High intensity interval training

Watch your numbers improve!

You will start to feel better when you increase your physical activity and add exercise into your routine. Measure your improvement in your weight, blood pressure, resting heart rate and BMI. Live by these numbers! They show your overall health. Check them regularly to keep moving towards your goals.
